Anatomy Ontology Conf calls

• Dial-in Number: 800.505.4464, participant passcode 784002#
• Adobe Connect: http://dukeuniversity.acrobat.com/phenoscape

June 13, 2011

Participating: Monte Westerfield, Paula Mabee, Judy Blake, Aaron Zorn, Jeff Bowes, Wasila Dahdul, Jim Balhoff

Agenda

• Judy:
  • Discussion on how to initiate the Amniote Anatomy Ontology for terms outside skeletal system
  • Report on status of unified anatomy [emap + MA]
  • What exactly is abstract mouse?
  • Clone MA, UBERON, unified mouse [emap + MA], or abstract mouse?
• Monte:
  • Discussion on moving ZFA to GO like model; possibility of implementing VAO import (so that XAO can just clone this VAO chunk when they also clone the rest of ZFA)
• Aaron and Jeff:
  • Discussion on setting up modular ontology model and specifics of importing model species-specific information (like devo stage)

Minutes

• Wasila will demonstrate diffs between Uberon and MA usingnon-skeletal terms
  • e.g. 'naris' in mouse is 'part of nose'
  • e.g. 'naris' in uberon with lots of xrefs but missing relationship 'part of' olfactory apparatus
• not sure how often Chris updates Uberon
